' oices, of Spuiiigclom oi the seed certain nee is specislicing ms.- cutting knives provide :3, simple for the edge of tchie guards for the rotary meet slicing mschines are i a soniewhet channel or isced. over the edge of mi up the hack and me The i'rontpart of c1 is eflccted not protected and the object of mention to provide e simple ice or guard or the part of at present unprotected. v only to protect the "is siede hiit i ts simply of a other snitabie material I ositioii nee the edge of the 1c bee thereof, by means oi bracked on the mschl e (is i i. so den e solid her of I) l; u.

pensive to nske ed to existing Active to the edge justed as desired. It

y retr eved when necessary.

mt my said, invention may be eadily carried. into View ct part of s most sw ng the secular knife n position, Fig. 2 is a pisn and showing e guard in the knife 4; and 5 bearing bracket, 0 is the machine. A. bracket Meet-Slicing section or shape hut is, preferably, solid. and of oval section as shown in the drawings, the lower part of the bracket a being secured by screws, or studs or like e, e, is flattened at d to form it bearing surface for the Washers j; and hes ohlong shaped. holes 9, g, therein to permit of its adjustment on the main besring bmcket e and relatively with the knife by means of the said. slotted holes 9, g, sncl thevscrews or studs e, c.

The uoper part of the bracket a? is formed into a cylindrical shape at d and has a circu lsr hole It made longitudinally thereof. An-

Which is preferably of rectangular section with ec g linciricsi part 5/ having a circuier hole i therein.-

ihis bracket j is secured to the frame 0 of the machine, being sdjustso'iy attached thereto by means of the screws, studs or the like 3c, is, passing through the slotted holes Z, Z, in the bracket j and screwed into the frame 0.

The guard m prcfershly consists of a solid rod. of circular section, which msy he made of metal or-other rigirl nisterisi end this rod is shaped to conform to the circuisr shape of the knife (L and at its upper end m", is shaped so as to be readily inserted into the circular hole h of the cyiimlricsi shaped upper part (7, of the bracket (5, being heii and fastened therein by means of the screw n. The end of the guard m can be readily adjusted the circular hole 71 and held in any position therein by the screw c. The lower end m of the. guard m is also shaped so as to be readily lnserteci into the circular hole t in the cylindrical part 7' of the bracket j, being held and. fastened therein by means of the screw The end 1% of the ucnl m can be readily a ijusted in the circu sr hole t and heid in any position therein by the sci ew it Will be seen that the lOti m is bent so is to foliow the contour of the knife edge end. is arranged just at the heck of and in s ivc-nce of ssid edge. in this position it (ices not interferc with the cutting of the meet nor with the free fall of the cut slices on to the 1'sccivcr 0 While at the same time it serves so. effectual guard. Us. to the specisishspe of the gucrrl m and cchets end. provided to hoid the rod in position e iiustinentof the device relative to of the knife can be readily accomplished. The guard can also be readily applied to s mechme having :1 swinging and 'i'evolnole c1rcn- The bracket lar'knife as shown at Figs. 4 and 5, the rod m being secured to the swinging arm 8.

Having now fully described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:'

1. A guard for that 1part of the rotarycircular knives of meat s icing machines where the actual cutting is eii'ected comprising a bar which is so shaped as to follow the contour of the knife edge and is arran ed a little behind and in advance of the edge of the blade and means for holding the bar in position.

2. A guard for that art of the rotary circular knives of meat s icing machines Where the actual cutting is effected comprising a bar which is so shaped as to follow the contour of the knife edge and is arran ed a little behind and in advance of the edge 0 the blade and adjustable means for holding the bar in position.

3. A guard for that art of the rotary circular knives of meat s icing machines where the actual cutting is effected comprisin in combination, a bar arranged alittle be ind and in advance of the edge of the knife,

means for holding the upper end of the bar in position and means for holding the lower'end of the bar in osition.

4. A guard or that art of the rotary circularknives of meat slicing machines where the actual cutting is effected comprisin in combination, a bar arranged a'little be ind and in advance of the edge of the knife, a'

bracket for holdin the up er end of the bar in osition, a brac et for oldin'g the lower en of the bar in osition and means for securing and suppodting said brackets.

5. A guard for that part of the rotary circular knives of meat slicing machines Where the actual cutting is effected comprising, in combination, a round bar arranged a little behind and in advance of the edge of the knife, abracket with a cylindrical portion having a hole therein for the reception of the upper end of the bar, a bracket Witha cylindrical portion having aholetherein. for the reception of the lower end o'fthe bar, means I for securing the bar in said cylindrical portions and means for securing the brackets to the machine. I

6. A guard for that art of the rotary circular knives of meats icing machines where the actual cutting iseifected comprisin in combination, a round bar" curved to to low the contour of the knife edge and having its upper and lower ends bent horizontally, a-

bracket with a cylindrical portion havinga hole therein for the reception of the u peifiend of the bar, a bracket with a cylindrical pertion having a hole therein for the reception. of the lower end of the-bar, means for se-'- curing the bar in said cylindrical portions and means for securing the brackets to the 1 machine.

7. A guardfor that part of a rotary circu-l lar knife of a meat sliein maohine' where the" actual'cutting iseliected, comprising anad;

justablebrac et havin a tubularportion, a

second adjustable brac at having a-tubular guard being arranged at the back and in 'ad- Vance of the edge of the knife and out of the .plane of the cutting and of the fall of thecnt slices.

In testimony whereof I afiix mysignature in presence of two witnesses.
